Default What cutout to get??

So i decided i want to get a electric cutout and have it installed after the y pipe. For the most part, all i see are QTP's cutout's. Are there any other's?? Cheaper priced one's that are just as good.

i have a qtp and have had no problems with it.

i dont know if theres a cheaper one though.

the other one that alot of members here have is teh DMH. I think is about the same price range as the QTP though.

I went with the DMH, I think they are about 10-20 bucks more expensive but come with warranty on it. I believe four years. Got mine from sponsor Speed inc

+2. I heard mixed reviews on the QTP ecutout and just about everything else they make for the Fbody (I have a QTP stainless dump and the welds sucked) so I went with a DMH. You will be hard pressed to find someone who has had issues with them.

i like that QTP offers the SS cutout itself, i ran a QTP on my borla with no problems, DMHs open and close in about half the time and i believe they have a 5 year warranty!
